Imagine being the person that your mother hates most in the world then imagine that hate multiplied by the deceit of your best friend, you will see that your life can only be described as one wild roller coaster of a ride. This is the reality for Sheneya “Shene” Rivers whose life has always been filled with drama and pain. At 14, her life goes from bad to worse when she gets pregnant and sold into marriage. For the next few years she struggles to survive her initiation into womanhood until she escapes. Thinking she has found a moment of peace, she begins to rebuild her life but lurking in the shadows is a force from her past that will stop at nothing to return to a life she had worked so hard to escape or leave her in a grave. Will Shene find the strength to survive for her future or will she succumb to horrors of her past?

The brutality Shene endured @ the hands of her mother Tatum, was inconceivable. Shene' s life was filled with grief & turmoil. I felt so bad for this honor student. Not only was Tatum evil, most of the characters were. I was so hoping Shene would catch a break. This was my first read by this author & I'm looking forward to finding out if things turn around for Shene in the next part.

Regret

I don't know why I chose the read this book. My affinity for finishing all books I start tormented me this time. It fills filled with violence, hatred, and rape. I mean I've read urban fiction before but this was too much. Wish I could unread it.

Short..but a Great Story!!

Shene went from an abused virgin to Wife to Mother at a young age. I liked Sin at first, thought he was being a stand up... wrong!!
Shene has experienced so much hurt and tragedy through no fault of her own..let’s see if she can find some happiness. Who’s coming for Sin??

WOW.... So much pain and heartache for Shene at such a young age. Her Mom was pathetic and sold her into a nightmare. The things Sin does to her is heartbreaking and seem so unnecessary, what's a young girl to do. SJ's death was sad, and Sins action/response was crazy. Robert is good dude getting caught up chaos!! Sin finds Shene after she finally escapes pregnant. Where we they go from here??

Awesome

Man this is a awesome read this definitely had me on a rollercoaster of emotions. Poor Sheneya can't win for losing. Tatum is a pure D B..... Sin & Lucas both crazy as hell. Lucinda crazy for staying that long.

😢

That ending had me in my feelings. I know Shene did get that far for Sin to just pop up like that. Kani....NO! Did sin do that or is it the woman that's following him? I can't wait for part 2.

This was a pretty decent read but if the author had just written a full book instead of this, practically a short story version, a sequel wouldn't be needed. Additionally, for it to be such a short read, the amount of editing issues was exorbitant

First off this book was crazy. I don’t even know where to start. Everybody in this story was evil. Shene was never able to catch a break. Tatum her own mother was trash and needed to be put away for life. The way this book ended was sad and got me dying to read the rest of the series.

This book for me was simply ok

There was not a lot of thought in developing each of the characters. Therefore, sometimes the reading came across as amateurish.

Nooooooo

Why did the book have to end like that. I need to know what happens to Shene, Kani, the baby and Robert. I'm really hoping part 2 is out because this book was fiyah!!
